Having fun at our Pool Party!

We had a great time at Olivia's house on Thursday morning. We walked to her place and had a swim. Then we ate watermelon and cakes and cordial. We walked backed to school with an ice block to keep us cool!! Thank you Tracey and Olivia for sharing your pool with us.
Keep checking this site for more pool party photos. Tracey is going to e mail me the ones she took.
Have a great holiday everyone! I have had a fantastic year!
